Head & Neck Cancer Surgeries: Comprehensive Oncologic Care

**Head and Neck Cancer** includes a diverse group of malignancies affecting the oral cavity, pharynx (throat), larynx (voice box), sinuses, salivary glands, and thyroid. These cancers require a highly specialized and often multidisciplinary approach, with surgery playing a critical role in diagnosis and definitive treatment.

Dr. Divya S. Gupta, with advanced training in **Head & Neck Oncologic Surgery**, provides state-of-the-art surgical care. Our primary goal is two-fold: achieving complete removal of the tumor (**oncologic clearance**) and simultaneously preserving the patient's vital functions—**speech, swallowing, and breathing**—to ensure the best possible quality of life after treatment.

Cancers Treated by Head & Neck Surgery

We offer definitive surgical management for primary tumors in the following areas:

**Oral Cavity and Oropharynx:** Tongue, floor of mouth, gums, tonsil, and soft palate.
**Larynx and Hypopharynx:** Voice box and surrounding throat structures.

**Nasal Cavity and Sinuses:** Cancers affecting the nose and sinuses.
**Thyroid and Salivary Glands:** Malignancies of the parotid and other glands (as detailed in previous sections).

Core Head & Neck Oncologic Procedures

Tumor Resection

This is the surgical removal of the tumor with a margin of healthy tissue (**clear margins**) to ensure all cancer cells are removed. Techniques vary based on the site:

**Laryngectomy:** Partial or total removal of the voice box for laryngeal cancer.
**Glossectomy:** Partial or total removal of the tongue for oral cancer.

Neck Dissection

Cancers often spread to the lymph nodes in the neck. **Neck dissection** is the surgical removal of these lymph nodes to check for and remove metastasis, which is crucial for staging the disease and planning further treatment.

Microscopic and Endoscopic Techniques

For early-stage cancers (especially laryngeal), we utilize advanced techniques like **Transoral Laser Microsurgery (TLM)** or **Transoral Robotic Surgery (TORS)**, often allowing for organ preservation and avoidance of external incisions.

A Team Approach to Cancer Care

Multidisciplinary Planning

We work closely with oncologists, radiation therapists, and reconstructive surgeons to customize a comprehensive treatment plan.

Functional Rehabilitation

Post-surgery care includes speech therapy, swallowing therapy, and nutritional counseling to restore daily functions.

Reconstruction

For large resections, reconstruction is vital. We collaborate with plastic surgeons to rebuild affected areas using tissue flaps, maintaining both function and appearance.

Diagnosis and Long-Term Surveillance

**Diagnosis:** Often starts with an initial biopsy (FNAC or core biopsy) followed by detailed imaging (CT, MRI, or PET scans).
**Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy:** A minimally invasive staging option for some early-stage oral cancers.
**Surveillance:** After successful treatment, regular, long-term follow-up is critical for early detection of recurrence or new primary tumors.

Early diagnosis and specialized surgical care are the cornerstones of successful treatment for Head and Neck Cancer.
